Syracuse, New York

The Everson Museum of Art
I grew up near Syracuse, so I can both sing the praises and complain about the "hub" of Central New York! I'll do more of both later:)
.
The picture was taken outside the I.M. Pei designed Everson Art Museum in downtown Syracuse.
.
I just learned that the 80 year old Hotel Syracuse has closed its doors, probably forever. This led me to want to do some new tips on Syracuse using historical images. I hope you enjoy!

Salt is what made Syracuse

Salt was discovered nearby after the Revolutionary War. The industry tailed off after the Civil War, but Syracuse to this day is called the "Salt City".

My hometown: Fayetteville, NY

Please visit my Fayetteville page to see where I grew up:)

Fayetteville is about 11 miles east of Syracuse on state route 5. Since I was a child it has grown from 2,000 to 20,000 in population.

 Lovely Syracuse page, Sal! So sad to hear about the Hotel Syracuse. I hate it when historical places are shut down. ~I’m a SUCKER for popovers! And your photos are beautiful! ~We, too, had the Erie Canal running thru Ohio thru Cincy to the Ohio River.

 These are great pages. Genealogy will bring me to Syracuse next summer. As a vacationer I want to see Skaneateles and Cazenovia. And the Erie Canal! Marcia

 When I think of Syracuse I think, in contrast to Scott (herzog63) of sun, warm weather and... Sicily, Italy. Very good page and updates!
